Aim: The objectives of the course are threefold:
1. To impart to the student an understanding of the operational interplay between the three components in the urban drainage system: the sewer system, the treatment plant and the receiving waters
2. To convey to the student the importance of this interplay for the reduction of pollution released during rain runoff.
3. To teach the student how to utilise an integrated modelling tool for achieving optimised performance. |
Contents: : A modular teaching approach is used, whereby each module builds on the next in increasing complexity. The course is made up of the following seven modules:
1. Analysis of system
2. Nutrient loads
3. Oxygen depletion
4. Sensitivity analysis
5. Effects of new system components
6. Rule based control
7. Competative optimisation
The key element that links the modules is an integrated software modelling tool that illustrates the system dynamics through exercises. Exercises are based on a case study that is used in all modules. In the final module the student is cast in the role of a consultant vying for a contract to minimise the pollution impact the least cost. Fellow students are the competing consultants.
